Abstract

A process for producing covered pressure-sensitive self-adhesive carriers is described, the carrier being covered with an embossed film on the surface treated so as to be pressure-sensitive and self-adhesive.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft selbstklebend ausgerüstete und drucksensitiv eingestellte Materialien (Klebebänder), die auf ihrer selbstklebenden Oberfläche mit einer Abdeckung versehen sind, welche sich leicht entfernen läßt, kein Silikon enthält, hochfest ist und recyclebar ist.The invention relates to self-adhesive and pressure-sensitive materials (adhesive tapes) which are provided on their self-adhesive surface with a cover which can be easily removed, contains no silicone, is high-strength and can be recycled.

Selbstklebend ausgerüstete sowie drucksensitiv eingestellte Materialien (bspw. Klebebänder) müssen häufig während des Herstellungsprozesses, Transports und bei der Lagerung an ihrer (klebe)aktiven Oberfläche reversibel abgedeckt werden, um ein Verkleben mit sich selbst zu verhindern. Darüber hinaus ermöglichen solche Abdeckungen beispielsweise eine gezielte Einstellung des Abrollwiderstandes, was insbesondere beim maschinellen Einsatz von Klebebandrollen in automatischen Verpackungsanlagen von ausschlaggebender Bedeutung ist.Self-adhesive and pressure-sensitive materials (e.g. adhesive tapes) often have to be reversibly covered on the (adhesive) active surface during the manufacturing process, transport and storage in order to prevent them from sticking to themselves. In addition, such covers allow, for example, a targeted adjustment of the rolling resistance, which is of crucial importance, in particular, when machine use of adhesive tape rolls in automatic packaging systems.

Übliche reversible Abdeckungen enthalten gewöhnlich silikonhaltige Beschichtungen, die kleberabweisend sind. Solche silikonhaltigen Abdeckungen weisen jedoch eine Reihe von Nachteilen auf. Zum einen läßt sich nicht generell ausschließen, daß Spuren des Silikons beim Abziehen der Abdeckung an der Kleberschicht haften bleiben, wodurch die Haftung des Klebers im Kontakt zu einem neuen Untergrund reduziert wird. Zum anderen stehen die Silikone einer Rückgewinnung des reinen als Träger (Abdeckung) verwendeten Materials im Wege. Eine Entsorgung derartig silikonisierter Materialien ist nur über Deponieren oder Verbrennen möglich. Eine thermische Umformung scheidet bei silikonhaltigem Material aus.Usual reversible covers usually contain silicone-containing coatings that are adhesive-repellent. Such silicone-containing covers, however, have a number of disadvantages. On the one hand, it cannot be generally ruled out that traces of the silicone stick to the adhesive layer when the cover is pulled off, as a result of which the adhesion of the adhesive in contact with a new substrate is reduced. On the other hand, the silicones stand in the way of recovery of the pure material used as the carrier (cover). Such siliconized materials can only be disposed of via landfill or incineration. Thermal forming is ruled out for silicone-containing material.

Es bestand deshalb die Aufgabe, eine Abdeckung für Klebebänder zur Verfügung zu stellen, die von ihrem Eigenschaftsprofil her silikonisierten-Trägern in nichts nachsteht, jedoch die obenbeschriebenen Nachteile der silikonisierten Träger nicht aufweist.The object was therefore to provide a cover for adhesive tapes which is in no way inferior in terms of its property profile to siliconized carriers, but which does not have the disadvantages of the siliconized carriers described above.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch einen abgedeckten drucksensitiven selbstklebenden Träger, der auf der drucksensitiv selbstklebend ausgerüsteten Oberfläche mit einer geprägten Prägefolie abgedeckt ist.This task is solved by a covered pressure-sensitive self-adhesive carrier, which is covered with an embossed embossing foil on the surface which is equipped with pressure-sensitive self-adhesive.

Die Erfindung betrifft weiterhin ein Verfahren zur Herstellung der abgedeckten Träger sowie die Verwendung einer geprägten Prägefolie als Abdeckfolie für selbstklebende Träger.The invention further relates to a method for producing the covered carrier and the use of an embossed embossing film as a cover film for self-adhesive carriers.

Drucksensitive selbstklebende Träger sind hinlänglich bekannt und beispielsweise in der EP-A-0 028 771 beschrieben. Prägbare Polyesterfolien sind ebenfalls bekannt (EP-A-0 115 033). In der nicht vorveröffentlichten deutschen Anmeldung P 41 33 142.7 wird vorgeschlagen, die geprägte Prägefolie gemäß EP-A-0 115 033 als Trennfolie zur Herstellung oberflächlich strukturierter, dekorativer Schichten einzusetzen. Ein Hinweis auf einen möglichen Einsatz solcher geprägten Folien als Abdeckung für selbstklebende Träger findet sich nicht.Pressure-sensitive self-adhesive carriers are well known and are described, for example, in EP-A-0 028 771. Embossable polyester films are also known (EP-A-0 115 033). In the unpublished German application P 41 33 142.7 it is proposed to use the embossed embossing film according to EP-A-0 115 033 as a release film for the production of surface-structured, decorative layers. There is no indication of a possible use of such embossed foils as a cover for self-adhesive supports.

Unter Abdeckung im erfindungsgemäßen Sinn wird ein Material verstanden, welches die Klebeschicht eines haftend ausgerüsteten Trägers schützt und auf Wunsch entfernt werden kann, ohne die Klebeschicht und/oder den Träger zumindest wesentlich zu schädigen.Covering in the sense of the invention is understood to mean a material which protects the adhesive layer of an adhesive-finished carrier and can, if desired, be removed without at least substantially damaging the adhesive layer and / or the carrier.

Unter Träger wird ein Gebilde verstanden, welches zumindest auf einer Oberfläche mit einer selbstklebenden Beschichtung versehen ist, welche den Träger durch einfache Ausübung von Druck (drucksensitiv) mit einem Substrat mehr oder weniger fest verbindet. Im besonderen wird unter Träger eine Klebebandfolie verstanden, die gewöhnlich aus einen ein- oder mehrlagigen thermoplastischen Kunststoff wie Polyvinylchlorid, Polypropylen oder Polyethylenterephthalat besteht und einseitig mit einem drucksensitiven Kleber beschichtet ist. Drucksensitiv heißt hierbei, daß die Klebewirkung ohne Temperaturerhöhung oder zuzusetzende Additive durch einfache Druckeinwirkung erzielt wird (selbstklebend).A carrier is understood to be a structure which is provided at least on one surface with a self-adhesive coating which the carrier is coated with by simply exerting pressure (pressure-sensitive) More or less firmly connects the substrate. In particular, carrier is understood to mean an adhesive tape film which usually consists of a single- or multi-layer thermoplastic such as polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene or polyethylene terephthalate and is coated on one side with a pressure-sensitive adhesive. Pressure-sensitive here means that the adhesive effect is achieved by simply applying pressure without an increase in temperature or additives to be added (self-adhesive).

Grundlage der Erfindung ist eine prägbare, gestreckte und thermofixierte Mehrschichtfolie aus Polyestern mit unterschiedlichen Schmelzpunkten, umfassend zwei außenliegende Polyesterschichten aus Polyethylenterephthalat, zwischen die eine niedriger schmelzende Polyesterschicht aus Copolyestern mit Ethylenterephthalat und Ethylenisophthalateinheiten eingebettet ist. Eine solche prägbare Mehrschichtfolie ist in der EP-A-0 115 033 beschrieben, auf die an dieser Stelle ausdrücklich Bezug genommen wird. Sie kann beispielsweise als ungeprägte Folie auf einen Träger, beispielsweise einen Bucheinband, aufkaschiert und anschließend unter Druck- und Temperatureinwirkung geprägt werden, wodurch ein gewünschtes reliefartiges Muster entsteht.The basis of the invention is an embossable, stretched and heat-set multilayer film made of polyesters with different melting points, comprising two outer polyester layers made of polyethylene terephthalate, between which a lower-melting polyester layer made of copolyesters with ethylene terephthalate and ethylene isophthalate units is embedded. Such an embossable multilayer film is described in EP-A-0 115 033, to which reference is expressly made here. It can, for example, be laminated onto a carrier, for example a book cover, as an unembossed film and then embossed under the influence of pressure and temperature, which creates a desired relief-like pattern.

Es wurde nun überraschend gefunden, daß sich diese prägbare Folie hervorragendals Abdeckfolie für drucksensitive selbstklebende Träger eignet. Dazu wird die prägbare Folie gemäß EP-A-0 115 033 mit dem gewünschten Muster, beispielsweise kleinen, gleichmäßig über die Folienoberfläche verteilten Erhebungen, geprägt. Der Vorteil bei dieser Folie ist insbesondere darin zu sehen, daß sie

  • a) nicht silikonhaltig ist,
  • b) die geringe Haftung zwischen Kleberschicht und Abdeckfolie durch Minimierung der Kontaktfläche erreicht (kleine Erhebungen),
  • c) hochfest ist, und
  • d) sortenrein und somit recyclefähig ist.
It has now surprisingly been found that this embossable film is outstandingly suitable as a cover film for pressure-sensitive self-adhesive supports. For this purpose, the embossable film according to EP-A-0 115 033 is embossed with the desired pattern, for example small elevations evenly distributed over the film surface. The advantage of this film can be seen in the fact that it
  • a) does not contain silicone,
  • b) the low adhesion between the adhesive layer and cover film is achieved by minimizing the contact area (small elevations),
  • c) is high strength, and
  • d) is pure and therefore recyclable.

Die prägbare Polyesterfolie ist eine Mehrschichtfolie, deren kennzeichnende Merkmale darin zu sehen sind, daß die Folie biaxial gestreckt ist und, daß die Zwischenschicht aus einem Copolyester besteht, der zwischen 5 und 95 Gew.-% Ethylenisophthalateinheiten enthält. Es ist bevorzugt, daß die außenliegende Polyesterschicht, von der die Prägung ausgehend vorgenommen wird, in ihrer Stärke dünner ist als die zweite außenliegende Polyesterschicht.The embossable polyester film is a multilayer film, the characteristic features of which can be seen in the fact that the film is biaxially stretched and that the intermediate layer consists of a copolyester which contains between 5 and 95% by weight of ethylene isophthalate units. It is preferred that the outer polyester layer from which the embossing is made is thinner in thickness than the second outer polyester layer.

Es hat sich gezeigt, daß durch Abdeckung der den niedrigeren Schmelzpunkt aufweisenden Mittelschicht durch die höher schmelzenden Polyesterschichten die Verprägbarkeit sehr gut ist, daß keine Klebeneigung zum Werkzeug während des Prägevorganges entsteht und daß höhere Temperaturen beim Prägevorgang angewandt werden können, so daß die Prägetiefe auch bei Belastung bei höheren Temperaturen erhalten bleibt.It has been shown that by covering the middle layer having the lower melting point with the higher melting polyester layers, the embossability is very good, that there is no tendency to stick to the tool during the embossing process and that higher temperatures can be used during the embossing process, so that the embossing depth also The load remains at higher temperatures.

In bevorzugter Weise wird für die Außenschicht Polyethylenterephthalat mit einer Schmelztemperatur zwischen 240 und 260 °C und für die Zwischenschicht ein Copolyester mit einer Schmelztemperatur zwischen 190 und 230 °C eingesetzt.Polyethylene terephthalate with a melting temperature between 240 and 260 ° C. is preferably used for the outer layer and a copolyester with a melting temperature between 190 and 230 ° C. is used for the intermediate layer.

Die Mehrschichtfolie besitzt bevorzugt einen asymmetrischen Aufbau; dabei ist die außenliegende Polyesterschicht, von der aus die Prägung vorgenommen wird, in ihrer Stärke dünner als die zweite außenliegende Polyesterschicht, welche der Seite, von der die Prägung vorgenommen wird, gegenüber angeordnet ist. Die Dicke der Mehrschichtfolie beträgt 5 bis 1000 µm, vorzugsweise 10 bis 350 µm, besonders bevorzugt 10 bis 200 µm. Dabei weist die außenliegende Polyesterschicht, von der die Prägung ausgehend vorgenommen wird, eine Dicke von wenigstens 0,01 µm auf, bevorzugt von 0,1 bis 10 µm, ganz besondere bevorzugt von 0,1 bis 5 µm. Die Dicke der Zwischenschicht beträgt wenigstens 0,5 µm, bevorzugt liegt sie zwischen 1 und 100 µm, besonders bevorzugt zwischen 2 und 40 µm. Die zweite außenliegende Polyesterschicht, welche der Seite, von der die Prägung vorgenommen wird, gegenüber angeordnet ist, weist eine Dicke von wenigstens 1 µm auf, bevorzugt von 1 bis 100 µm, besonders bevorzugt von 5 bis 50 µm.The multilayer film preferably has an asymmetrical structure; the outside polyester layer from which the embossing is made is thinner than the second outside polyester layer, which is arranged opposite the side from which the embossing is made. The thickness of the multilayer film is 5 to 1000 μm, preferably 10 to 350 μm, particularly preferably 10 to 200 μm. The outer polyester layer, from which the embossing is carried out, has a thickness of at least 0.01 µm, preferably from 0.1 to 10 µm, very particularly preferably from 0.1 to 5 µm. The thickness of the intermediate layer is at least 0.5 μm, preferably between 1 and 100 μm, particularly preferably between 2 and 40 μm. The second outer polyester layer, which is arranged opposite the side from which the embossing is carried out, has a thickness of at least 1 μm, preferably from 1 to 100 μm, particularly preferably from 5 to 50 μm.

Bevorzugt ist außerdem, daß die als Zwischenschicht eingesetzten Copolyester zwischen 5 und 50 Gew.-% Ethylenisophthalateinheiten enthalten.It is also preferred that the copolyesters used as the intermediate layer contain between 5 and 50% by weight of ethylene isophthalate units.

Die Polyesterzwischen- und -außenschichten werden nach den üblichen, allgemein bekannten Verfahren coextrudiert, biaxial gestreckt und thermofixiert.The polyester intermediate and outer layers are co-extruded, biaxially stretched and heat-set by the customary, generally known methods.

Bei der Prägung der Mehrschichtfolie geht man am besten so vor, daß man die Folie unter ausreichendem Druck in Kontakt mit einer strukturierten Fläche, bevorzugt einer Walze, bringt, deren Struktur sich dann auf die Dreischichtfolie überträgt.The best way to emboss the multilayer film is to bring the film into contact with a structured surface, preferably a roller, under sufficient pressure, the structure of which is then transferred to the three-layer film.

Als geeignete Strukturen haben sich gleichmäßig über die gesamte Länge und Breite der Prägefolie verteilte punkt- oder linienförmige Erhebungen von 5 bis 50 µm Höhe und einem mittleren Durchmesser beziehungsweise Breite von 5 bis 20 µm erwiesen. Die Anzahl dieser Erhebungen pro mm² sollte - je nach Durchmesser/Breite - ca. 100 bis 25 betragen. Zur Erzeugung von linienförmigen Erhebungen kann man der Prägefolie ein rillen- bzw. wellenartiges Profil, beispielsweise in Form von z.B. konzentrischen Ringen, etc. verleihen. Entscheidend ist, daß die Gesamtkontaktfläche durch Eindrücken (Prägen) von Flächenbereichen verringert wird, so daß eine nur punkt- bzw. stegförmige Erhebungen tragende Oberfläche entsteht. Die Form dieser Prägung spielt hierbei eine untergeordnete Rolle.Point-shaped or line-shaped elevations of 5 to 50 μm in height and an average diameter or width of 5 to 20 μm have been found to be suitable structures that are uniformly distributed over the entire length and width of the embossing film. The number of these surveys per mm² should - depending on the diameter / width - be approximately 100 to 25. To create linear elevations, the embossing film can be given a groove-like or wave-like profile, for example in the form of, for example, concentric rings, etc. It is crucial that the total contact area is reduced by pressing in (embossing) surface areas so that a point or surface bearing web-shaped elevations arises. The shape of this embossing plays a subordinate role here.

Das Aufbringen der Abdeckung auf die drucksensitiv selbstklebend ausgerüstete Oberfläche erfolgt zweckmäßig durch Kontaktieren beider Oberflächen. Im Falle von selbstklebend ausgerüsteten Klebebändern wird die Abdeckung zweckmäßigerweise als gleichbreites Folienband dem Klebeband nach dessen Herstellung kurz vor der Aufrollung auf der mit Klebstoff ausgerüsteten Seite zugeführt und zusammen mit dem Klebeband aufgerollt.The cover is expediently applied to the pressure-sensitive, self-adhesive surface by contacting both surfaces. In the case of self-adhesive tapes, the cover is expediently fed to the adhesive tape as a film tape of the same width shortly before it is rolled up on the side provided with adhesive and rolled up together with the adhesive tape.

Gegenüber herkömmlichen Abdeckungen für selbstklebende Träger oder auch gegenüber Klebebändern, die selbst auf der Rückseite mit einem Antihaftmittel ausgerüstet sind, weist die erfindungsgemäße Kombination von geprägter Abdeckfolie und Klebeband die folgenden Vorteile auf:
